The same could be said about the android phones....

 

That's somewhat true, there's not really huge changes in software versions. But Android, being open, is a lot more customizable and you are able to flash operating systems until you find the one you like. There are more options available to keep you from feeling like you're getting the same thing over and over again.

 

I do agree that iOS is getting stale thou, just doesn't make me go "WOW" as much.

Still a great phone IMHO.

 

Just found out...if you guys have AT&T with unlimited text messaging, or switch to unlimited...you can call and request unlimited calls from mobile to mobile phones of OTHER carriers at no extra charge.

Dad found this out and called me and I just called myself and made the adjustment. They made the change and backdated the change to the beginning of the month.

 

Because I dont come close to using my 900 minutes a month...and this addition I will most likely drop back down to 450 minutes a month and switch over to the 4gb data/tethering plan.

I'm still in debate about giving up my unlimited data...but I have never gone over 1.1gb in a month...usually average 780mb...

And if I get the tethering/hotspot plan it would be for my ipad....and I cant believe that thing uses THAT much more data.

Either way, they said its 4gb across the board for data....

oh decisions...

 

do the verizon iPad plans include hotspot or is it extra?

 

no hotspot on iPad

unless you jailbreak....

 

Really no hotspot? What about AT&T????????

 

If you gO over the 5GB "unlimited" plan what happens? Do they limit bandwidth? Overage charge?

 

 

I think you have to have the 700 minutes to plan to get free unlimited mobile to mobile. I did this online when it came out but I have the next plan up. This plus the A List plan pretty much means I rollover almost all my minutes.

 

You only have to have unlimited texting.

 

You thought the ipad would be enabled as a hotspot device? Do you smoke crack?

 

There's the whole iOS getting "old" too.

 

why not??

what defines you hotspot device and not?

if it has 3g connection that costs the same between ipad and iphone, i don't see why not??

 

Because it's retarded.

If you have your iPad out and about you more than likely don't have your laptop...

Most people that will use mobile hotspot are people with iPhones and wifi iPads out and about and want the iPad to be online.

The idea of using an iPad as a hotspot is backwards.

 

sharing is caring

sometimes your friends with wifi only ipad might wanna go online lol

oh noes

 

yup, sorry Wsklar..

 

i just turned on home sharing in iTunes and on my iPhone, pretty sweet.

 

my guess is AT&T is looking at browser user agents and if they see a non iPhone user agent from you and you don't have a tethering plan then they know that you're using mywi. mywi could spoof the iPhone user agent but then you'd always get the mobile version of sites on your laptop.

I'm curious how they get around that without screwing up the way sites are displayed on laptops....

 

dont think thats it, cause then if i use skyfire and set it to use desktop safari then id be fucked.

 

or even right now i have my brower user agent as the iPad.

 

They can have a list of approved browser strings besides just mobile safari. I hate that I have to explain every intricate detail to you.....

Also browser strings say which OS you're using like Wndows 7, iPhone, iPad, OS X, etc. with the Platform Token.

so if i used mywi to tether to an iPad i probably wont get caught?

 

meh who cares

 

you'd probably still get caught. because AT&T records show you only have an iPhone without tethering plan with them but now it's showing up as an iPad and you don't have an iPad with AT&T soooooo.....

 

ok.. tethering to another iphone?

that should cause a black hole or something right?

 

as you can see im

 

I guess that would work but why would you do that

 

like i said im just bored and throwing shit out there.

 

i mean i do have a jailbroken OG 4GB iPhone that i could tether to

 

ok im done here.

 

Skyfire in desktop safari mode:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/530.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/528.17

In iPad mode:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 4_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8C148 Safari/6533.18.5

And iPhone:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/8F190

and in Chrome on my desktop:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.151 Safari/534.16



like i said im bored. and want to pick a fight !

 

then this may be trouble for skyfire. Don't think AT&T really cares if this causes trouble for one app, they're not gonna lose $$$ to protect one feature on one app.

 

ive been using it a shitload for uhh....

no warnings for me...

 

anyways too bad this itunes home sharing only works over local wifi.


i think im just going to forget this whole windows home server/server whatever thing and use that app you were talking about and just connect to my computer.

i can do that right?

 

File browser? yes

It also only works over local wifi unless you vpn
